We love short shorts!

Its that season, all the shops are fully stocked with gorgeous high rise, vintage, lace, crochet, denim shorts! If you're like me and would rather save the money, here are some tips to make your own super unique summer necessity. 

Ultimate Salads

Salads can be far from boring! The best part is they're super easy and quick to make. Just be careful of what dressing you choose (stick to vinaigrettes or make your own!) and don't drench your salad, just lightly flavour.  

Thrifting

After a delicious lunch with some friends at the Kari House in Steveston Village we decided to go to our local thrift shop. It did not disappoint! We bought 3 pairs of shoes, a vintage "treasure" chest, 2 balls of yarn, 2 leather bags, a leather wallet, a pair of shorts, and 2 tops! Together we spent a total of $37! 

We originally decided to head to the thrift store after hearing about a pair of cowboy boots that were $30... little did we know the other gems we'd find! Additionally, shoes were all 1/2 price today only (The Thrifting Gods must have been by our side). The chest was amongst a pile of ridiculously cheap furniture; some was even free. If you are lacking in furniture or moving in to a new place, I highly suggest checking out your local thrift store.

My favourite purchase would probably be these pair of black boots I got for $2.50..... WHAT?! I am still in disbelief. They are genuine italian leather, in great condition. 

What thrifting gold have you found?
